Astrology.com "quickie" horoscope for Aug. 4: "Your instincts will help you create the perfect combination of charm and power."

In real life: On his 47th birthday Monday, Obama gave an energy speech in Michigan, proposing the federal government sell 70 million barrels of oil from its strategic petroleum stockpile to help drive down high gas prices. His proposal could "charm" voters who are fed up with paying so much at the pump. And those voters could pave the way for him to be the next president, giving him the ultimate "power."
